Jane Eyre claims her independence from Rochester when she states, "I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a human being with an independent will which I will now exert to leave you." She is a remarkably independent and strong willed woman, especially when it was published in 1847. Charlotte Bronte even used a pseudonym to publish it. See my other feminist and bookish designs.

Birds are a recurrent theme throughout Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. I have selected bird related pasages from the novel and collaged the text in chaffinches over a feather pattern marbled paper in blue green and yellow. 'I see at intervals the glance of a curious sort of bird through the close-set bars of a cage: a vivid, restless, resolute captive is there'.Perfect for snuggling down with a good book.

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” —Jane Austen, Persuasion
